ust to give you some pointers - it needs to be quite high energy & professional (lots of young people smiling), simple, fun (but not funny so you must ditch the lego characters). The target age group is 22 - 30.

I need a graphic designer who can take 4 design templates (attached) we have made of online interactive CVs and improve them with better colours, images and fonts.

“Very professional and excellent at keeping me informed of progress. Ran past the deadline but gave me plenty of warning. Unfortunately, quality of output did not match my high expectations but in hindsight they were probably too high in the first place given the complexity of the job.
Would definitely hire again.”

“Amongst most professional clients I''ve even worked with. Great instructions, prompt and detailed replies. Gave me a plenty of time, and although I couldn''t match up with the expectations and had to delay the delivery several times, Ben gave me as much as time as I need. I''m definitely looking forward to our future work together.”

“Very polite, courteous and hard working developer. However....
If the price is too good to be true, then it probably is.
- In 7 months of development (4 months behind schedule), the developer only asked 5 questions even when it was clear there was a lack of understanding. As a result, a huge amount of time and resources were wasted on elements which were unnecessary or plain wrong..
- Developer requires micro management; tasks deemed complete by the developer were not and were riddled with mistakes. On average, had to send 5 emails / reminders to get a task successfully completed.
- Poor attention to detail, poor spelling and grammar, very messy coding and lots of bugs which were neither identified nor properly addressed.
- Developer always say yes but ignores important / difficult emails;
Changepond Technologies basically took on a project which was too big for them. They said they should have charged $30,000 instead of $5,000. However, they did not display the skills, experience and know-how to be able to commander such fees. I've had to give the project to another developer to undo mistakes / redo most of the work.
Changepond Technologies could probably cope with a very basic plain vanilla website / shop window but anything else is beyond their skills. Also, they have no design flair so it would probably be best to hire a separate designer.
I feel bad writing such a terrible review but there's very little positive feedback I can give. Anyone considering using changepond should take this feedback into consideration. ”

“This project is a perfect example of Buyers ignorance. Client has provided his initial requirement document which was all in a single line during the initial phase. Later during the development stage, it was elaborated with all his surrounding thoughts which were not shared to us during the pre-sales estimation time. His detailed requirement would have definitely helped us to prepare detailed and elaborate estimation which includes Time frame needed to complete the job. We would have given him the detailed Time line with resource allocation to complete the job if client would have given all his inputs in the initial phase. Whenever a change was pointed out and asked in change management, Client was adamant that it is all in base single line document. However, Instead of discontinuing the project we worked as we committed and delivered the coding. After getting all the works, client gave this feedback which is highly unprofessional. We have done very large scale web site projects like FIFA, AFC, SportsDream etc and we did not faced such issues raised by these high value customers. ”
